Chapter 169 Do you have to raise unrelated children?
The reception banquet in Qingzhou was quite lively, and almost half of the city's wealthy families came over.
Mi Xiayao has met those uncles, because most of them were in her own mansion in Qingzhou City when she was a child. She even had few childhood playmates in Qingzhou City.
Most of the people who joined in the fun actually dispersed in the second half, and those who really stayed were the ones who stayed.
That is the person who is closely related to the Mi family in Qingzhou.
The biological mother of Mi Jinghuan and Mi Xiayao was originally a direct daughter of the Lin family in Qingzhou. The Lin family in Qingzhou mostly ran businesses that printed books on a large scale. There were actually large and small bookstores, or rather bookstores, secretly.
Qingzhou Lin's is the most powerful backing investment.
In addition, when Mi Jinghuan was a child, he studied business with his uncles from the Lin family in Qingzhou. Therefore, the relationship between the Lin family and Mr. Mi was not severed, and the two parties also secretly helped each other.
The representative of the Lin family at today's reception banquet is Lin Guanyu, the youngest among the uncles.
"I heard from your brother a few years ago that you married a man named Duan in Jingzhou City?" Lin Guanyu has a delicate appearance, and her eyebrows are vaguely similar to Mi Xia Yao's eyebrows when she smiles.
Because he has also been in business since he was a child, he has an outgoing personality and talks about whatever comes up.
Mi Xiayao sat at the corner of the round table and answered with a smile: "I married once and then divorced."
"When you wanted to make peace with us, you had to communicate with us in Qingzhou. That person from that family is definitely not just going to jail. You are not only your brother, but also our uncles. Why have you suffered in vain in their family for so many years?"
Lin Guanyu didn't seem to be satisfied with the result of Mi Xiayao's reconciliation. He always felt that there were obviously more extreme ways to deal with it, which would make the Duan family even more miserable.
Mi Xiayao smiled gently, and most of the time she had the habit of listening but not thinking when talking loudly and boldly between her relatives.
Lin Guanyu finally drank a few glasses of wine and got drunk. He turned his head to Mi Jinghuan with a wine cup and said: "You will get married in a while, and you will still have time to follow your uncle and we go out to Qingzhou."
A businessman?"
Leaving Qingzhou?
Mi Xiayao frowned slightly, then raised her eyes to look at Mi's father.
The latter gave her a calm look and just smiled without saying a word.
Mi Jinghuan deftly pressed the wine cup in Lin Guanyu's hand, and said with a smile without changing his face: "We will talk about business matters another day. Today is the day for my sister to wash her hands. Don't talk about these irrelevant things."
"Oh, right..." Lin Guanyu suddenly realized. He turned to Mi Xiayao and said, "I saw that there is a boy in the wing. In addition to Mrs. Gu's child, is the boy from the Duan family?"
"No, it's just that a friend asked me to take care of the child for a few days." Mi Xiayao looked calm and calm. When she came to Qingzhou, she changed Mi Xiaobao's version of her life experience.
"Hey! What are you doing raising other people's children? When they grow up, they may not remember your kindness. It's a waste of your good years. You said you would take a child back to Qingzhou, but those nobles from aristocratic families with some background would drag you out when they see you.
You're a dragster, how can you find a husband now?"
Lin Guanyu was talking casually after drinking, and what he said was all on the spur of the moment, completely regardless of whether the person opposite was willing to listen.
Mi Jinghuan's expression changed slightly. He carefully studied Mi Xiayao's expression. As soon as his sister showed any signs of discomfort, he would immediately cover her uncle's mouth.
But after looking at him for a long time, he couldn't see any unpleasant look on his face.
"It doesn't matter if the child doesn't remember. As long as the adults remember, it will be fine. I, Mi Xiayao, have never been short of money in the capital or in the future. I just have one more rice bowl and one more mouth to feed. It's no big deal.
"
Mi Xiayao originally wanted to say a few more words to dissuade Lin Guanyu.
But under the round table, Gu Yun pinched the back of her hand to signal her to speak less. Most of the people here were either tipsy or in a good mood and wanted to watch the fun.
There are many mistakes to be made, not to mention trying to reason with these drunk people, which is tantamount to playing the harp to an ox.
Mi Xiayao paused for a moment, then abruptly took back the next sentence that came to her lips.
"That's all you can afford."
Lin Guanyu made a sound that seemed to understand, and waved his hand, "It must be your biological sister. What a generous idea! It definitely has the broad mind of our old Lin family!"
"Yes, yes..." Mi Jinghuan was afraid that his uncle would talk nonsense when he was drunk, so he took away all the wine cups in front of him and winked at the attendant behind him.
The attendant quickly turned and left.
There was still a friendly and warm atmosphere at the table. Mi's father knew it was time to call it a day, so he ended the wedding banquet.
Mi Xiayao actually drank a few glasses of sake with them, but her thoughts were clear. On the contrary, Mi Xiayao took care of the subsequent matters of sending the guests off to the carriage in an orderly manner.
After she watched the last Lin family carriage leave with a smile, Mi Jinghuan crossed his arms and leaned against the threshold, staring thoughtfully at the sister's profile for a long time.
"Can you still go back sober? How about I ask someone to drive a carriage to take you back?"
Mi Xiayao turned around and met her brother's bright eyes. She asked gently with a smile on her lips.
"You are much calmer and more reliable than I thought," Mi Jinghuan's eyes revealed the joy without concealment, "I have tried many times to write books before and went to Jingzhou City to ask if you were bullied in the Duan family. Please answer your question.
Most of the letters that came over were filled with angry words."
"I know that you have been complaining that as your elder brother, why can't I always be by your side?"
Mi Jinghuan let out a long sigh and tapped the ground with his toes, seeming a little disappointed.
She didn't expect that Mi Jinghuan could talk to her so quickly in front of the hotel.
"Earlier, it was true that I was young and short-sighted," Mi Xiayao thought for a while and said, "Actually, I never complained about you not playing with me. When I was young in the capital, my uncle's sons would provoke me and say
I don’t have an older brother, so I will refute them angrily. My older brother is the most powerful merchant team in Daqi, and none of you can compare with him."
"Actually, there was a big quarrel once, and I got into a fight with some of my cousins and brought it to Grandpa's house. Fortunately, I acted well on weekdays, which made Grandpa feel that it was not my fault. As time went by, those cousins were not in awe of me but how good I was.
I can fight, but my awe-inspiring grandpa favors me regardless of innocence."
"Tsk."
Mi Jinghuan was fascinated by what he heard. He clicked his tongue proudly, and then raised his chin proudly.
"As expected of Mi Jinghuan's biological sister, she has to backhand like this. Some people only care about beating but not scolding. Sometimes fists are more useful than money."
He let out a long breath of relief, and then walked to Mi Xiayao's side. He patted Mi Xiayao's shoulder somewhat unfamiliarly.
"When I was young, my brother and I were short-sighted and young, but later I figured out that there are some things that innocent people don't have to bear. After all, we are still brothers and sisters. If we don't help each other, who else in the world can wholeheartedly
